According to Sandy

On Tuesday, August 18, 2020, the Moon meets up with the Sun in Leo. When next to the Sun, the Lunar orb is in its “New” phase. This can be great for beginnings – take it as a sign of encouragement to start something (good!) in the next few days.

Use the dramatic, ambitious, enthusiastic vibrations natural to the 5^th sign off the Zodiac to brainstorm, enroll a special someone in your life, do a sparkling presentation or an audition. Also, Leo’s Solar driven joy and confidence bodes well for the opportunity to have fun with any melodrama that might ensue. (Drama doesn’t always have to be a hissy fit.)

This active, initiating energy lasts for approx 2 weeks until the next Full Moon on 9/1/20 (a good time to then finalize, complete projects).

The Sagittarius New Moon, on Tuesday November 26, will have us getting out and about, seeing people and just being optimistic. With this good natured, Jupiter ruled Fire sign, there may be sudden urges to travel and seek out fun escapades, which can add up to fun experiences.  

As always with a New Moon, it’s a great time to launch, create, and / or start something. Sagittarius’ enthusiasm, love of adventure and taking risks are amped as both luminaries, the Sun arrived on 11/22, are together. Think of the possibilities! But, you still must stay grounded enough to get all the facts (an exact measurement for the Bungee drop rope is a good idea).

(FYI = “New Moon” energy lasts approximately 2 weeks until Full Moon 12/11/19) 

Howling for luxury and looking for delicious eats – but still counting dollars? It might be the vibrations of the Taurus Full Moon on Tuesday November 12, 2019. This is a security focused Earth sign guided by its ruler – the elegant, luxury loving planet Venus.

Whatever vibes are out there can all be put to good use. Indulge the sensual side, while monitoring investments. Share whipped cream and chocolate covered strawberries with a significant other while tallying the checkbook at the same time. It’s possible!

As always with a “Full” Moon, it’s a good time to finish what you’ve started. Before the next “New” Moon, use grounded Taurus’ influence to complete any financial dealings and/or improvements to surroundings – beauty, comfort and safety. Who do you have to be, so that you can do whatever it takes to have those things you value most?

*Taurus Full Moon Nov. 12, 2019 ~ 8:34 AM EST / 5:34 AM PST

<Sagittarius New Moon, 11/26/19>

The Moon will be in its “New” phase (the Sun and the Moon are in the same sign) on Saturday September 28, 2019 causing Air sign Libra’s traits to intensify. With all that charm and creativity, partnership possibilities are endless.

Take advantage of the energy – meet & greet “new” comrades, create something powerful & “new”. The universe will support New Moon innovation for the next 10 days or so until the Moon is “Full” on 10/13/19. (This is an excellent time to finish up projects and complete tasks.)

*Libra New Moon – Sept. 28, 2019 ~ 6:03 AM EDT / 3:03 AM PDT

On Thursday, August 15, 2019, the Full Moon will be in the unconventional, humanitarian, 11^th sign of the Zodiac. Aquarius encourages spontaneous change, community activism, group fun with a purpose and just contribution in general. Before jumping to the front lines, pause and reflect – is the issue real for you, or is the response automatic / knee jerk.  “No Justice, No Peace” – (Love it)

Just a reminder – a”Full” Moon phase packs power and can give our thoughts clarity. It starts the “waning” or decreasing period, on its way to the 3rd and 4th quarters. This can be a great time to gather and tally results or confront the useless – clean up old projects, get rid of outmoded thought patterns and attitudes in order to clear the way for the “New”.  (New Moon in Virgo 8/30/19)

*Aquarius Full Moon: 8/15/19 ~ 8:29 AM EDT * 5:29 AM PDT

On Wednesday, July 31, 2019, the Sun is in Leo (since 7/22) and the Moon begins a transit on the same day. Both luminaries in the same sign means “New Moon”. This can be great for beginnings – take it as a sign of encouragement to start something in the next few days.

Use the often dramatic, ambitious, enthusiastic vibrations natural to the 5^th sign off the Zodiac to initiate a project, enroll a special someone in your life, do a sparkling presentation or audition. Also, Leo’s solar driven joy and confidence bodes well for the opportunity to have fun with any melodrama that might ensue. (Drama doesn’t always have to be a hissy fit.)

This active, initiating energy lasts for approx 10 days until the Full Moon in Aquarius on 8/15/19 (a good time to then finalize, complete projects).

*Leo New Moon:  7/31/19 – 11:12 PM EDT / 8:12 PM PDT

On Monday, February 4, 2019, an Aquarius New Moon will give power and possibilities to our group actions. It also moves us into the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Pig (wealth, good fortune). Aquarius, a Uranus ruled Air sign, wants us involved with humanitarian issues – exercise those revolutionary muscles by joining or creating movements with the aim of defeating the status quo. Regardless of what’s going on, it will speak to Aquarian need for independence, an attraction to the radical and anything different.

For a Moon to be considered “New”, both Sun and Moon are in the same sign, thereby intensifying the sign’s traits. A walk on the wild side (with lots of friends) may prove irresistible. Just remember, all revolts are not equal or righteous, especially when participants are required to pay up front. Moderation works.

*New Moon in Aquarius:  2/4/19 – 4:04 PM EST / 1:04 PM PST

~Gong Hay Fat Choi – Happy New Year! 2/5/19~

FYI: The Chinese Lunar New Year, unlike the “Sun” calendar, can begin on a different date each year

The Moon is in earthy, analytical Virgo for the weekend. The Lunar orb will also reach “New’ stage this Sunday 9/9/18. (New Moon: both the Sun & Moon are in the same Zodiac sign at the same degree) We will experience a double dose of the efficient work /service / health focused 6^th sign of the Zodiac – use it to organize and de-clutter both mind and surroundings.

Like all “New” Lunar phases, the next 2 weeks are a great time for beginnings. Take advantage of Virgo’s natural “I’ll handle it” approach to take a look at fitness and nutrition. Are there things to be improved – diet, exercise? Don’t spend too much time being critical of yourself. Take care of needed changes now.

*Virgo New Moon:  9/9/19  2:01 PM EDT / 11;01 pm PDT

The Moon is in sparkling, sassy Sagittarius from Friday evening until Monday morning and on 12/17, the Lunar orb begins a “New” phase. We will feel the urge to get out and about and see people. We feel lucky, optimistic and of course will find the greatest bargain, the perfect gift, the bestest tree. Or, you can hang out with family and friends – socializing works too.

As always with a New Moon, it’s a great time to launch, create, and / or start something. Sagittarius’ good nature, love of adventure and taking risks are tweaked while both luminaries, (the Sun arrived on 11/21) are in this upbeat Fire sign ruled by big Jupiter. But, you still must stay grounded enough to get all the facts (an exact measurement for the Bungee drop rope is a good idea). Mercury is still retrograde until 12/22/17, so pay attention to the details.

*New Moon = Dec 17– 10:30 PM PST / Dec 18 – 1:30 AM EST

FYI = New Moon energy lasts approximately 10 days. 

There will be a New Moon, and Solar Eclipse, in Earth sign Virgo on Thursday, 9/1/16. The energies of this solid 6^th sign of the Zodiac will be intensified. Since it is ruled by communication planet Mercury, analytical Virgo’s written and verbal interaction is revved up. Don’t spend too much time being critical of others or yourself. Being constructive will be better appreciated.

Like all “New” Lunar phases, the next 2 weeks are a great time for initiating, creating = new beginnings. Use it to organize and de-clutter both mind and surroundings. Take care of needed changes now, start fresh.
